More quotes by Ritchie Blackmore
I found the blues too limiting, and classical was too disciplined.
Ritchie Blackmore
The cello is such a melancholy instrument, such an isolated, miserable instrument.
Ritchie Blackmore
A lot of blues guitarists play with only three fingers, and they can't figure out certain runs that require the use of their little fingers. Classical training is good for that.
Ritchie Blackmore
Playing a Fender is an art itself. They're always going out of tune.
Ritchie Blackmore
I have never met one person who likes Grand Funk.
Ritchie Blackmore
Johnny Winter is one of the best blues players in the world. He's very underrated.
Ritchie Blackmore
I was impressed by Hendrix. Not so much by his playing, as his attitude - he wasn't a great player, but everything else about him was brilliant.
Ritchie Blackmore
Those record companies don't know what's happening at all.
Ritchie Blackmore
In my early days, I never used finger vibrato at all. I originally carved my reputation as one of the 'fast' guitar players.
Ritchie Blackmore
Stevie Ray Vaughan was very intense. Maybe that's what caught everybody's attention. As a player, he didn't do anything amazing.
Ritchie Blackmore
I however don't go to clubs to show off and to be seen, and certainly not to make statements. I just want to be able to quietly watch a band.
Ritchie Blackmore
I can turn on some jazz guitarist, and he won't do a thing for me, if he's not playing electrically. But Jeff Beck's great to listen to.
Ritchie Blackmore
I can imagine that Rod Stewart likes giving autographs because he's pure showbusiness.
Ritchie Blackmore
I'm not into that Keith Richard trip of having all those guitars in different tunings. I never liked the Rolling Stones much anyway.
Ritchie Blackmore
I had given up the guitar between '75 and '78. I completely lost interest. I was sick of hearing other guitar players and I was tired of my tunes.
Ritchie Blackmore
If a ballet dancer falls over, it's knowing how to get out looking clumsy that counts.
Ritchie Blackmore
If you can play well in the studio, you can play well on stage.
Ritchie Blackmore
I don't use the twang bar anymore. It's become too popular.
Ritchie Blackmore
I like leaping around on stage as long as it's done with class. None of this jumping up in the air and doing the splits
Ritchie Blackmore
I was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.
